However, these performance resources must be in an organized and productive way in the Akasaki grid system. Traditional grid systems generally provide a stimulus-response environment in which jobs (〇perati〇ns) and orders are simply executed in response to a given stimulus. For example, if a u-grid application requires a certain level of processor power or a particular amount of storage space, then simply allocate this amount of processor power or storage space for execution of the grid application. This type of stimulus-response environment, regardless of the dynamic nature of distributed operations, many of the performance resources in a decentralized operation can be dynamically allocated, reclaimed, reserved (spoken & ) and others. Because in this way, grid operations must be relatively simple to fit a simple stimulus-response environment. Therefore, there is a need for devices, greens, and methods that contribute to the autonomous control of performance resources on a preferred grid computing system. Advantageously, such a device, system, and method overcomes the current limitations of grid flipping and grid computing systems.

In one embodiment, the autonomous prediction method 7 is invoked after a network application is launched. In a further embodiment, the autonomous prediction method 700 can be invoked prior to identifying 508, 608 - initiating a triggering event, as described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. The exemplary autonomous prediction method 700 begins with a monitoring of 7〇4 a prediction trigger event. In one embodiment, the guest 400 can use the guest monitoring module 424 to monitor for a triggering event. In an advanced embodiment, the overall autonomic manager 3 can use the overall monitoring mode, group 322 to monitor a predicted triggering event. - In an embodiment, the predicted triggering event is defined by one of the client prediction policies 416. Alternatively, the predicted triggering event can be defined by one of the system prediction policies 316. The autonomous prediction method 700 continues to monitor a predicted trigger event until the client 400 recognizes a defined predicted trigger event. The client tears down to adjust the performance of the claws or the grid system, as indicated by the prediction policy 416 or the system prediction policy 316, respectively. In the embodiment, the self-test method 7(8) is used to adjust the 710 performance resource by simply resolving the existing performance #source reservation. Another way is

In addition, the client 400 can notify the overall autonomous manager 3 of the performance poor source configuration and the client resource profile 4丨4 via the client notification module 428. The depicted autonomous prediction method 700 then ends. As an example of the scooping method 500, 600, 700, the overall autonomic manager can monitor the performance of the grid on the leak. When monitoring the performance of the grid, the overall adjustment module 326 can adjust the system adjustment policy 318 to increase the amount of performance resources allocated to the grid/program if the overall performance begins to slow down. For example, a movie studio can perform a show rendering of a mosquito expiration date. On the face of the deadline, the squad of the industry may decide to increase the available guest performance resources of the grid system. In one embodiment, the application of the f-grid application increases the performance resources of the network (four) and other clients on the brain. Thus, the adjustment policy 318 defines the response to the request of the source. In addition, the overall autonomous management device is used to delete the client and the 4GG management grid application. In an embodiment, the requirements for increasing the performance resources can be autonomously generated according to the definition of the planning restriction and the deadline. .

For example, using the same performance example above, an adjustment policy 318 may allow the guest 4GG to dynamically reclaim the guest performance resources, provided that the show grid application does not currently use the configured guest performance resources. Similarly, when they are required to perform additional performance cans, they can be reconfigured to the show grid application. This is an example of a dynamic adjustment policy 318. Many other autonomous predictive, initiating, regulating, terminating, and arbitration policies can be used in a variety of grid systems 100 and application environments. For example, the policy can be defined - on/off control. In another embodiment, the policy may define a proportional control. That is, if demand increases or decreases, resources can be configured or recycled according to demand. In another embodiment, the required step-change, time delay (delay) or phase policy. For example, the degree of suitability or resource availability and configuration can be tailored to a certain period of time. Regarding forecasting policies, the overall autonomic manager can collect and use history or other information to predict - specific load, resource availability, resource allocation, etc.

For example, the area processing load on the client can adversely affect the performance resource availability on the grid system at some point in the mother's day. The 1 test policy allows the overall autonomous manager and the client to raise the expectation of a typical poor source. The geodetic grid should be miscellaneous and secret. This can include delaying the grid or making the tank lie less effective. Detailed forecasting, initiation, adjustment, termination, and arbitration policies are not limited to any specific policies, control algorithms, and so on. In the example, the policy change in the overall autonomic manager 300 or the client 400 can be linked to the subscripticm manager 212. In one embodiment, the subscription manager 212 can adjust the fee based on changes in service. In another embodiment, the subscription official 212 can avoid specific or overall changes in the policy. For example, a company may have used a grid system to touch and choose to contribute a certain level of performance resources. The fees charged to the company can be fixed to the upper and/or lower limit (thresh〇ld) of the grid application requirements and the level of performance resources contributed, corresponding to specific financial or other business criteria.
